Define Alternate Lot Algorithm Values
When setting up lot algorithms, if you prefer the lot number to not show the exact value of a component, or if you want a particular component to have the same value in the lot algorithm, you can define an alternate value or a reference. A reference value will take precedence over the alternate value.
An alternate value can be specified for the following components: ITEMNO, LOCATIONCODE, WORKCENTERNO and WORKSHIFTCODE.
Define an alternate value for an item
Choose the
icon, enter Items, and then choose the related link.Open the Item Card page for the item.
In the Item FastTab, populate the following field:
Field Description Lot Algorithm Alternate Value Enter the value that will be used by a lot algorithm that uses the ITEMNO component. This value will be displayed in the lot number instead of the item number.
Define an alternate value for a location
Choose the
icon, enter Locations, and then choose the related link.Open the Location Card page for the location.
In the General FastTab, populate the following field:
Field Description Lot Algorithm Alternate Value Enter the value that will be used by a lot algorithm that uses the LOCATIONCODE component. This value will be displayed in the lot number instead of the location code.
Define an alternate value for a work center
Choose the
icon, enter Work Centers, and then choose the related link.Open the Work Center Card page for the work center.
In the General FastTab, populate the following field:
Field Description Lot Algorithm Alternate Value Enter the value that will be used by a lot algorithm that uses the WORKCENTERNO component. This value will be displayed in the lot number instead of the work center number.
Define an alternate value for a work shift
Choose the
icon, enter Work Shifts, and then choose the related link.Open the Work Shifts page, populate the following field:
Field Description Lot Algorithm Alternate Value Enter the value that will be used by a lot algorithm that uses the WORKSHIFTCODE component. This value will be displayed in the lot number instead of the work shift code.
